How I lost 30 pounds in 3 months?

Three months back my weight was 205 pounds (93 kgs), I am 6 feet tall so my BMI was 27.8 which is midway between overweight and obesity. For a healthy person BMI should be between 18.5 and 25, 25 to 30 is over weight and above 30 is obese. I decided to loose weight and become healthy again. For this I did lot research on weight gain/loss, and was on rigorous diet and workout for 3 months and lost 30 pounds, with this by BMI came down to 23.7. In this post I will share my experience with you.

Normal person burns 10 calories per pound per day, that means a person weighing 200 pounds will burn 2000 calories per day. If one can maintain one’s calorie intake below that mark they will start loosing weight. The norm is that for 3500 calorie deficit you will loose one pound. So if you want to loose 2 pounds per week, the deficit should be 7000 calories per week, which is quite easy. The problem is that most people don’t realize how high their calorie intake is.

Below was my menu for the past 3 months.
